Context

• I wanted to create a short film whilst in lockdown that shows emotions using mise-en-scene and cinematography.

• I wanted to improve my filmmaking skills

• I wanted to develop my prost production skills

• I wanted to create a film  set in the current day

Research

• Analysed how funerals were presented in other forms of TV and FILM [https://eellsmoremediafmp.blogspot.com/p/research.html]

• I put out a survey to find out if image or sound is more important in conveying emotion to people.

 

Problem solving

• Due to the UK being plunged into lockdown, I had no shooting equipment. I got around this by working with what I had. I used my phone for shooting and lamps for lighting.

• Due to restrictions I was unable to mix a lot of people from households so for my actors I had to use members of my own family.

Planning and production

• I created a schedule in order to make sure I was sticking to the deadline and that I could spend adequate amount of time on each stage of the production.

• I recced and scouted out each shoot location

• I created a shot list to give myself an idea of what shots to get on the day of production

Evidence/Example:

 

Practical skills

• Editing Skills shown when I edited the film.

• Planning skills shown in pre production

• Camera skills shown in shoot 

 

 

Evaluation and reflection

• Evaluated the final piece of work
• Answered questions about my work in the evaluation\
• Explain in depth the process of creating the film.
• Explain in detail what the project has taught me, what could be improved etc.
